Yes, thank you to Alan and Beth for keeping everything in line. From what I heard you guys were awesome. And thanks to all who helped out for that matter. Unfortunately I had to make a spontaneous trip to Sac, but I was still able to meet a few people and BS a little with some of you. It was nice seeing you all again, and nice to meet those who I hadn't yet. See you all at the next one.  ;D

Oh, and thanks for the heater Russ. That was nice. And tell Sidney to hurry up and get that girly R6 so we can teach her to ride it.  ;)

Yes, I would like to throw my Thanks! in as well. As my first ever track day I was very happy with the whole thing. Everything seemed well sorted and ran effective and efficiently. Everything from reg to tech was painless and smooth. And our wonderful "track manager" did an amazing job. On my second session out I got Greg to follow me and got bumped to B, with just a few pointer to watch myself on. And toward the end of the day I had a riding buddy that gave me a few pointers on body position and even let me use is gas can (as mine seemed to be missing my fill neck). Everyone was well behaved and nice to each other. I love to see that sort of atmosphere.

PS even got my knee down for the first time, on a number of occations. Its nice knowing that I don't have to try that on some country road now.

LOL --your welcome for the heater  Andy,  and I will try and get Sydney to get one of those girly bikes ---you know --THE R6  :D         She says she is a clutz so I will let you, the PRO, teach her to ride.  8)

What a great day it was , fun to , just needed better weather.     It's always fun to be at the track, hopefully no one was hurt too bad in their crashes.

No problem. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, not that I had any doubts. The track is A LOT of fun isn't it?!

Post by: MotoPutz on April 21, 2008, 02:19:21 PM
Yes, I am Moto Scar, I was originally Moto Putz but was asked to change my name cause there was a Moto Puts. So I went to Moto Scar. Well "moto puts" has never posted nor signed in for about a month so I changed to "Putz". Maybe someday I can have my "Moto Putz" back...

And I was the one on the track with the Respol graphiced F4i.

Your welcome. It definitely didn't look like your first trackday, you looked really comfortable out there! Now I'll have to pick a 4theriders image from the other side so everyone can tell us apart :)

Great day ;D ;D ;D. Thanks to all: Allen, Beth, Russel, Tabetha, Dustin, and everybody else that made it happen. I had a blast and got comfortable in the afternoon. Russ, I did not get to ride with you, I was feeling "B" pretty much all day (an passing quite a bit). I did manage to hold back my man Giuseppe for a few laps but eventually succumbed to the pressure MANNAGGIA!!! I can't believe how much faster you got since last year.......no matter, your days are numbered: I am on your case 8)

THANKS ALBERTO.  ;D       We rode one session together and diced it up a bit.     You will up in A next time brotha ---your too fast for that B group my man.   

When are you going to do another track day??   There is one coming up May 10th and 11th ---will you be doing that one?? ( its with Zoom Zoom )

ITs fun to get everyone in one group and have fun mixing it up.     I think that GSXR has mad me a faster rider than on the RC.    I love it.    Zoran set it up for me and the thing is so easy to throw around compared to the RC.   

What a fun day ---we MUST all do this again and again.!!!!  ;D
